MY GOVT ’LL BE CORRUPTION-FREE —BUHARI


Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), on Saturday, reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to tackle corruption headlong, if elected in next Saturday’s election, saying nobody would be allowed to steal or be frivolous with money, no matter how highly placed in the society.
He made this known in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, during the grand finale of the rally organised by the North-Central zone of the party.
General Buhari, who lampooned the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), particularly on its oil and aviation sectors, said that the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan was using the two sectors, like others, to siphon public funds.The APC standard-bearer declared that if given the mandate, he would not swindle or encourage anyone to swindle public funds, but would rather channel resources on gigantic projects that would have direct bearing on the lives of the people.
He assured that excessive spending on frivolous and white elephant projects, like PDP government does, would be put to a halt, lamenting that before the advent of President Jonathan, four refineries, as well as 22 depots and rail lines were all functional, but due to maladministration, Nigeria still imports oil.
General Buhari then ad monished eligible voters to ensure that they collect their permanent voter cards (PVCs) before deadline day, as a strategy of dislodging the ruling PDP at Aso villa in next Saturday presidential election and subsequent ones.
